*Ou has favorited a book by Stephen King*

"Under the Dome" is the latest book by Stephen King that I'm reading, and I must say it's also one of the largest books, regarding the amount of pages, that will go to my list of favorites and recomended. King himself said this was a "very, very long" book; he also said he tried to write it sooner, when he was young, but the project grew heavy on him. He tried to write this story twice during the 70's, but it wasn't until a few years ago that he rewrote it from scratch; in January of 2008 he announced that he was "killing a bunch of trees", and in 2009 the editorial firms gave birth to his work.

Currently I'm 512 pages from finishing the book. I had planned to finish reading it before the New Year, but I couldn't go through all 1.131 pages as I would have liked between sleeping time and sleeping time, work and bed, and all variants;  I found it really hard to keep my eyes open, my mind in atention and mu body no so tired during the last days of the year that just went away, but, on the other hand, I confess I really don't want to finis the book. Well yeah, but...no, you know (?).

Soon after beginning to read this literary wonder of post apocalyptic science fiction, I told myself: "Geez! Stephen King is a GENIUS in the full meaning of the word!", and I said "Oh my God!" a few, many times as I moved forward. His ability to pull me out of this reality and *plup* throw me to another one with hi stories,worthy of being taken to the big screen, is amazing. ¿Isn't he tired of taking me from one dimension to another?

And the "one dimension to another" bit, I mean it! In one part of this book, one sunset turned out to be one of terror for the inhabitants of Maine that were watching it from under the dome, the sky turned to a different color, and everyone left what they were doing to watch that strange atmosphere. After reading that chapter, I SWEAR I thought this: "a scary sunset? Everyone with their mouths agape? HOW DID I MISS THIS?!!", and then I turned to look through the window because I didn't want to miss that sunset which, unfortunately, was only in the book u.u

And this happened to me with many of his books; with "Cell" there was a moment in which I started to look a my cell phone with other eyes, and with "Lisey's Story" I though and thought again about that world we go to when we sleep. I had said it before, King makes me see the world in a new way every time I lay eyes on his stories, and that's magical.

You can't miss reading this book that starts narrating several road accidents in which several people, a groundhog, a deer and hundreds of birds lose their lives because of the appearance, over a small American state shaped like a boot, of a semi permeable but, up until I read, impenetrable invisible force field. Scientist, the nation's air force and security operatives put into motion several plans to check the height, depth, and way to effectively penetrate the force field.

Meanwhile, within the limits of Maine walled by this mysterious force, under the dome, horror begins to occur. In less than three days, the sleeping madness of several in habitants awakens and seems not too eager to go back to take a nap. Between murders, necrophilia, nepotism, suicides, despair and hallucinations, life in the small town of Chester's Mills is also threatened by another factor: pollution.

The serving of justice in the boot-shaped town and the uncovering of the force's mystery before the town dies due to the toxic environment rest in the hands of a cook, a journalist and three 17 years-old boys. Have I not convinced you of reading it yet?
